Here's my recipe for Greek style macaroni:
Ingredients:
a. 500 grams Greek macorni(or any other kind is ok)
b. 3 tablespoons Greek olive oil
c. 2 dashes of Greek seasoning
d. A handful of crumpled feta cheese(or any other cheese is good)
e. A tablespoon of table salt
Cooking Preperations:
1. In a medium pot add in 2.5 cups of water, the tablespoon of table salt & dashes of Greek seasoning.
2. Turn on the stove and place down the pot and put it on a high or medium setting.
3. Wait until the water fully boils. When the bubbles start appearing break the macaroni in half and slowly add it in until all the macaroni is submerged in the water. Stir the macaroni & place the lid on.
4. Continue stirring every 3-4 minutes & make sure the macaroni never sticks to the sides of the pot.
5. Depending on how you prefer your macaroni done & the quality of your stove your macaroni can be done within 15 minutes. Just to make sure it's the way you like it taste a strand. If it's still too hard continue stirring while turning down the setting to a lower heat. Keep checking.
6. Once the macaroni is cooked to your preference immediatly set a pasta drainer in the sink & dump the macaroni in there to drain in the water. When the water is gone quickly add in the 2 teaspoons of Greek olive oil & handful of feta cheese. If you prefer you can add in a nother dash of Greek seasoning. Mix around the cheese & olive oil & seasoning so that it settles everywhere.
7. Let the macaroni cool down for 1.5 minutes and then serve. It feeds about 3 or so people.
You can always substitute the cheese or olive oil with another type of olive oil or cheese. I just make my macaroni Greek style, the way my yiayia taught me growing up but you may like it a different way and that's ok.
Enjoy
